It’s borderline shocking that Maurice Jones-Drew couldn’t get loose for any big gain with 25 carries against the NFL’s worst run defense. His 66 rushing yards was Jones-Drew’s lowest total in 11 career games in which he had at least 20 attempts. The Bills did a masterful job of bottling him up and the offensive line struggled to create any lanes.

Passing offense: B-

Once again, another up-and-down day for David Garrard. A bad decision on trying to force a slant pass for Torry Holt that was intercepted. But when he needed to string together some big passes with the game on the line, the quarterback delivered. He went back twice to Holt after the receiver’s big drop to open the game-deciding march. Each victory, Mike Sims-Walker seems to be finding the end zone and gaining valuable yards after the catch. Garrard showed good patience waiting for Sims-Walker to get through traffic on the crossing route for the game-winning score.

Run defense: A-

The Bills have a respectable running offense, but the Jaguars never allowed Fred Jackson or Marshawn Lynch to get any kind of rhythm. The Bills carried it 19 times for 53 yards, a season-low by any Jaguar opponent. No real standouts in slowing Buffalo’s run game. Just a solid all-around job of tackling by the entire unit.

Pass defense: C-

It’s hard to believe the Jaguars could win a game when the flamboyant Terrell Owens torches the secondary for 197 receiving yards, including a 98-yard touchdown against replacement cornerback Tyron Brackenridge, who had no safety help on the play. Safety Sean Considine wasn’t much of an impact player early in the season, but he had an interception and broke up two passes. Derek Cox was fortunate that a penalty nullified Lee Evans’ 53-yard touchdown in which Evans won a jump-ball situation.

Special teams: B-

Punter Adam Podlesh, who has struggled several times this season, had his best game with a 40.8 net average and three punts inside the 20. The Jaguars didn’t get much from Brian Witherspoon in the return game. His fourth quarter fumbled punt might have been lethal without Brackenridge saving the day with a scoop and 12-yard return.

Coaching: B-

Anyone judging this team on style points will be unsatisfied. But you have to acknowledge how well they’ve played in tight end-game situations. Jack Del Rio and his staff are getting the Jaguars to play big when it matters. They struggled because the running game went limp, but they overcame a fourth quarter deficit for the second week in a row. When a young team starts building confidence and pulling out close games, it’s also a reflection on the coaching staff.

Is winning two or three games in a row by 14 points too much to ask? Please don't act like we aren't real fans because we want to see some really good football consistantly, and throw in a couple of nail biters, not nail biters every game against mediocre (at best) teams and blowouts by good teams!

Thank you Jolter the real pea brain for your ignorant input. Did you look up those big words in a dictionary? Ketchman has been covering the NFL for over 30 years, which is probably longer than you have been alive. Questionable calls? Ha! Obvious calls. Keep cheering for your Jills.

some people relish in negativity. When the Jags only loose by 2 or 3 they are the first to scream how bad and how much they suck. When they win by 2 or 3 they scream "well it was only by a little". A win is a win right? I ask these people" So do you expect every football team to win by a landslide everytime" If so, you live in a fantasy world. Enjoy win when it happens.

I agree with T-Bone...this isnt college where u have to blow people out every week to move up in the rankings...a win is a win is a win....Look at the scores this week...Dallas barely beat Washington..KC beat Pittsburgh ..Oakland beat Cincy!......Any given Sunday the best can be beat by the 'worst' ...this VERY young team has won 3 in a row and 6 out of 8...thats pretty darngood....and yes Texas Ranger...if you look at the standings the Jags are deservedly in the Playoff talk as they are tied for the wild card right now...will they make it?..who knows....but lets enjoy the fact that we are in the conversation and support this up and coming team!!! GO JAGS!
